OMG what the hell is Samsung doing ? 1 GB of RAM is horribly outdated !! I am pretty sure this Samsung tab is going to remain on shelves , especially with Google Nexus 10 available nearly at the same price and much better hardware.

0,9 gb of ram does sound a bit low for a tablet but when you complain it's used up to 700 mb when no apps are open, you should know a bit more about ram.

Android, being a Linux based OS, uses Linux philosophy with ram. It says that ram is of the most help when it is used as much as possible because empty ram has no help for the system. Now, the OS itself takes up maybe 300 or 400 mb of ram, and the rest is mostly cache that helps the OS work faster. By clearing the ram you only remove that cache and it will soon fill up again. And when some app needs some ram, cache frees up space for it and is no harm and doesn't slow the device down.

So you should not complain about the small amount of free ram and not clear the ram all the time.

I found this out when I was worried about my N9 taking up 700-800 mb of ram with no apps open.

Looking towards of Asus Memo Pad FHD 10, which has same SoC, but twice more RAM and much better WUXGA screen. Yet it doesn't have LTE and NFC, which still quite important to me. Both have same poor ~6700-6900 mAh battery. I wonder why Samsung and Google so desperately wants to avoid tablet market? Why not to make a good tablet product finally?

Still, if this x86 platform is not capable of Android 3D gaming at all, then it's not a buying contender.
